WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE EVENT

“For us, the Leadership Forum is not only an ideal opportunity to connect with potential customers, but also a chance to engage customers and internal teams in an experience that allows everyone to get involved, reflect, and find inspiration to change their approach and evolve in a positive way.”
Giovanni BrianzaCEO Edison Next
“The Leadership Forum is a unique opportunity for enrichment, where you can listen to speeches by internationally renowned speakers and network. Private events are also valuable for sharing opinions and points of view. I have seen different generations in the theater, an integration that certainly encourages the kind of dialogue that society and the business world need.”
Angelo Lo VecchioCEO of Adecco Italy
“Without leadership, there is no innovation, and without walking the talk, there is no substance. Participation in the Leadership Forum was the prize awarded to many new talents at Bosch at the end of an internal contest. It means planting the seeds that will lead to innovation, an essential drive that every company must instill in its resources.”
Renato LastariaBosch General Manager
